Damping Explained is a video series that breaks down the ins and outs of structural motion control systems in the built environment. When a structure is subjected to external forces - wind, pedestrian movement or seismic activity, for example - it vibrates or sways. In tall buildings and on large bridges, such movement can make people uncomfortable. In other structures, it can accelerate materi...

good one thanks
GOOD WORK. Keep it up RWDI
Great video and has a great history.
Nice explanation
I have done my mtech thesis on tuned liquid column dampers
Nice explanation
Very nice! By adding a negative stiffness pendulum.. simply genius.... Can you make a video on tuned liquid column damper

At last... A serious looking skyscraper in the ciy. I guess it won't matter after WW3 tho :(
keep posting such knowledge..!
nice video
Beautiful!
Thanks and Happy Holidays!
👍
I’ve nearly been blown off my bike in front of this building
They should build one undershaft the tallest skyscraper?
Great job 👍
Worst looking building.
agreed. its so large compared to its neighbors
Hey you stole my name
Only problem with London (the city part) is the buildngs are to close together they all hide one another and u cant really see them properly. Canary wharf is much better, i know its all down to space etc... just saying.
Newcastle Utd 1892 same tbh I prefer Canary Wharf
Great dance moves everyone <3
It's making the street outside very windy, I notice it every day leaving my office nearby. Sometimes hard to even walk against it.
The shard is even worse
:-)
Happy Holidays!
This is truly awesome!! You guys rock.
one ugly building tho
It’s not ugly just bland and zero character
@@RM-tj6ju so basically ugly
If the Tulip were to be built, won’t it be the tallest building in the eastern cluster
Tallest building in the City of London*
Thanks Cubic! You're right, 22 Bishopsgate will be just short of the Shard. It will be the tallest in the City of London, but not the tallest in London. We've updated the title to reflect this.
Nah itll be taller. And London and the city of London is the same fucking thing. London is a fucking city
And even if it wasn't taller, then how is it in a different fucking part of London to the shard. They are fucking so close to eachother
@@RWDI thanks for the updated title!
@@davidbooth46ify Sorry, but you obviously don't know much about the subject. Yes, the Shard is located relatively close to the skyscrapers in the City of London, but its precise location is Southwark. There's a lot of information online about the difference between the City of London and Greater London. I'd suggest you have a quick glance at it before commenting about the topic again. Cheers.
That guys voice sounds so FUCKING ANNOYING OMG!!!
Excellent explanation! Thank you!
